An elderly couple were sitting in their living room when the husband informed the wife he was going to the kitchen to get some ice cream. He asked if she would like some to which she replied "yes". He said he was going to put nuts on his and asked if she would like some. She said yes,but told him he better write it down or he would forget. He returns a little while later and hands his wife a plate of scrambled eggs. She told him, I told you if you didn't write it down you would forget the bacon.

Alone In The Desert
by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman
"And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place" (Luke 9:10).
In order to grow in grace, we must be much alone. It is not in society that the soul grows most vigorously. In one single quiet hour of prayer it will often make more progress than in days of company with others. It is in the desert that the dew falls freshest and the air is purest.--Andrew Bonar
"Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile,
Weary, I know it, of the press and throng,
Wipe from your brow the sweat and dust of toil,
And in My quiet strength again be strong.
"Come ye aside from all the world holds dear,
For converse which the world has never known,
Alone with Me, and with My Father here,
With Me and with Ally Father not alone.
"Come, tell Me all that ye have said and done,
Your victories and failures, hopes and fears.
I know how hardly souls are wooed and won:
My choicest wreaths are always wet with tears.
"Come ye and rest; the journey is too great,
And ye will faint beside the way and sink;
The bread of life is here f or you to eat,
And here for you the wine of love to drink.
"Then fresh from converse with your Lord return,
And work till, daylight softens into even:
The brief hours are not lost in which ye learn
More, of your Master and His rest in Heaven."

 Sept. 11, 2001 will be a day remembered by all. With the terrible happenings in NYC and Washington, we felt this little poem might help to uplift everyone.IT'S IN THE VALLEYS I GROW Sometimes life seems hard to bear,
Full of sorrow, trouble and woe
It's then I have to remember
That it's in the valleys I grow. If I always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
I would never appreciate God's love
And would be living in vain. I have so much to learn
And my growth is very slow,
Sometimes I need the mountain tops,
But it's in the valleys I grow. I do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing.
My Lord will see me through. My little valleys are nothing
When I picture Christ on the cross
He went through the valley of death;
His victory was Satan's loss. Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I'm feeling so very low.
Just give me a gentle reminder
That it's in the valleys I grow. Continue to strengthen me, Lord
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way. Thank you for valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys I grow!
